Tony Adams has given his broadest hint yet that he will end his 19-year Arsenal career this summer. The 35-year-old said he would decide whether to retire at the end of next month while on holiday in France. "I don't want to go on past my sell-by date," he said. "It is not just a question of how I feel physically; I have got to speak to my family as well."

Adams will donate about £500,000 from his testimonial with Celtic on May 13 to charity. The game is expected to generate £1m-plus.

France's coach Roger Lemerre has told Liverpool's on-loan striker Nicolas Anelka that he is out of the World Cup, according to a French report. Lemerre is said to have already phoned Anelka with the bad news.
